FAO and Ireland Discuss Strengthening Global Food Security at Regional Conference
The Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), QU Dongyu, met with Noel Grealish T.D., Ireland's Minister of State for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, during the 35th FAO Regional Conference for Europe and Central Asia. The meeting focused on enhancing cooperation between FAO and Ireland to support regional and global food security. Ireland's historical experience with famine has shaped its commitment to addressing global hunger, and the country has been a steadfast supporter of FAO's initiatives. The discussions also highlighted Ireland's strategic support for the World Food Forum and its efforts to engage youth in agrifood systems. Ireland's transformation from a traditional agriculture system to a modern, diversified agrifood system was commended by the FAO Director-General.
